@@pmo23 Hi! Congratulations. I would start practicing not drinking with your meals and experiment with some different Protein powders or ready-made drinks For before and after your surgery. Do as much research as you can. There are a lot of great inspirational people on here that will help you along your way. I was just sleeved Monday and I felt really prepared thanks to all the help I received. Remember every experience is different, every journey has its own list of rules to abide by. Good luck to you!

My surgery is Dec. 18th. About 2 weeks ago I came off all caffeine and started practicing eating very slow. One week ago I stopped all alcohol and made a conscious effort to chew each SMALL bite at least 30 times. This weekend is my last weekend to have caffeine free carbonated beverages and to start a high Protein diet. Next week I will start replacing one meal with a Protein Shake. I'm also pushing Water, water, water. Start now making changes. I for one didn't want to be detoxing off caffeine and soda while trying to do my 2 week pre-op diet. I would go postal!

Hi PMO23 - I'm a month away from my surgery date in December, and I'm having the same problem. I don't know if it's anxiety over the procedure, but I feel like I've lost control over my appetite. I was doing so much better BEFORE I got the surgery date. Are you better now? If so, how did you manage to control your appetite? Thanks! I hope all goes well for you!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
